Now that you shiny new liaison changes to test and play with, have some shiny new artifacts to go with them!

A bronze torc
-------------
Power: enhanced_sandstorm
Cost: 300 credits

While worn, your sandstorm will always increase every 4 seconds, regardless of if you are standing upon sand or not. In addition, the effect of Harshen will be amplified.

A demonic lithograph
--------------------
Power: lithograph
Cost: 300 credits

This demon will etch the current location, as you see it via LOOK, onto a slide. Store a picture of any event! The slides will eventually decay, but the demon is capable of remembering up to 50 pictures and can remake any of the pictures stored in memory. Use the LITHOGRAPH command to interact with it.

A demonic transcriber
---------------------
Power: transcriber
Cost: 300 credits

This demon is a master of mimicry! When used, it will listen to any speech in its location, and can recite it again later. The demon can remember up to 50 different conversations. Use the TRANSCRIBER command to interact with it.

An iron-wrought weapon chain
----------------------------
Power: fastening
Cost: 150 credits

This artifact acts like a permanent weapon-gripping defence (or fist-sigil for all your weapons) while worn. Never lose your weapons again!

A tattoo stencil
----------------
Power: extra_tattoo
Cost: 400 credits

This tattoo stencil allows unlocks the 'body' tattoo slot, allowing you to obtain an extra tattoo. Does not stack, meaning it's only possible to get one extra slot. Only works for the owner.

A lens of essence tracing
-------------------------
Power: lastlogin
Cost: 75 credits

This artifact allows you to use the LASTLOGIN command on any of your mutual allies, letting you see how many days ago they last logged in!

An enigmatic atlas
------------------
Power: atlas
Cost: 150 credits

This artifact adds a line to SURVEY that informs you what percentage of the local area you have explored.

A bloodied runestone
--------------------
Power: huntsense
Cost: 200 credits

Allows access to the HUNTSENSE and HUNTTRAVEL commands. Huntsense informs you of the status of all the Hunting Grounds in an identical fashion to touching one of the cairns, as well as the names of anybody who is in the Hunting Grounds. HUNTTRAVEL is a delayed, channeled travel to the Hunting Grounds itself, so long as you are on the mainland, and Prime Plane. It also has same entry conditions as the regular cairn entry.

An inscribed grave marker
-------------------------
Power: fakedeath
Cost: 100 iron coins

This artifact lets you fake your death by sending a fake deathsight message to those in the same room as you, and those adjacent to your room. You can supply a room number to specify what room you 'died' for the purposes of the divining power. If you do not supply a room, your current room will be used. Usage: FAKEDEATH [room#] <message>

An extendable hand
------------------
Power: longhand
Cost: 200 iron coins

Now you can have the ability to annoy everybody. The extendable hand allows you to use the POKE and SLAP emotes line-of-sight from you, showing as an extendable hand entering the room and performing the action on the target. Has a very small balance cost with its use.


Penned by my hand on the 19th of Haernos, in the year 430 MA.
